AGA Council Elections 2007
This year's elections will be held online in early November.
AGA members, please watch for an e-mail or letter with the information you need to vote.
The procedure is simple: all AGA members will receive a membership number and a voting token, akin to a password, allowing them to register their vote, by e-mail if we have your address. Once the ballot opens, the election web site will show the slate of candidates with brief biographical statements and voting instructions. The token ensures that each member votes only once, and that the results are submitted anonymously. No paper ballots to send, no stamps to find, no anxiety about the vagaries of snail mail!
Make voting and AGA communications easier by sending your e-mail address and subscription number to: jnls.cust.serv{at}oxfordjournals.org. Oxford University Press will send only communications concerning the AGA or the Journal of Heredity.
